I promised a watch story. It’s really not a watch story, but it is a very special story to me and the pictures of the two watches will make sense as to why they are so special to me.
This story starts a long time ago. When I was a little girl, I’m talking around 6 years old, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. For those of you that don’t know, I have red hair and when I was younger, I used to talk to my grandma and say I wanted black hair bc red hair is ugly! It was a regular conversation we had and my grandma used to say that my hair was beautiful and in an effort to convince me, she used to remind me that Charlie Brown loves the little red headed girl. For very many years,
that story had been long forgotten.
Fast forward to about 30 years. Mike and I had been going out, not for very long, and were still in the ‘get to know you’phase. We went out and had a little ride on one of our dates. We both realized we had feelings at this stage, but just not sure where things were going.
On this long ride, we were talking about ourselves and trying to learn as much as we can about each other, and this is where he said the words that told me everything I needed to know.
‘I’ve always been fairly withdrawn . I really see myself like Charlie Brown.’ WHAT?!? All of my childhood conversations about Charlie Brown and the little red headed girl came back to me in a whirlwind . My response started with’you won’t believe this!’
So, that told us both that the good Lord meant for us to be together. No doubt about it! For the next 20 years, I gave him something from the Peanuts gang every Christmas as a reminder that God put us together .
The watches I have pictured here, Mike bought them the year before he passed and both of these watches are, to me, priceless .
